The special CBI court in Mumbai discharged Narendra K Amin in Sohrabuddin fake encounter case today. He is the 11th accused to have been discharged in the case so far. According to the court, there was not enough evidence against Amin and the others to justify the case against him.

Amin is also an accused in Ishrat Jahan encounter case and had been incarcerated for eight years. His advocate Dinesh Tiwary, representing him in the Sohrabuddin case said, "He was in jail for eight long years. Who will compensate for that?"

BALLISTIC REPORTS PROVE SHOTS NOT FIRED FROM AMIN'S GUN

According to the prosecution, NK Amin had been part of the squad when Sohrabuddin, a small time thief and his wife Kausar Bi were picked up and put up in Aram Guest House at Ahmedabad. He was also in the squad that shot down the duo. The investigating agency had recorded a statement of another constable of the squad who had said that Amin had fired at Sohrabuddin and passed the gun to others. However, the defense had shown through ballistic reports that the shots were never fired from Amin's gun.
